The Warp presents Audio Visual Spatial Performances

FallBack: Eternal Returns V: Fall Back to the Loom: Recurring Figures in a Weaveworld

December 11, 2022, Sunday, 8 pm

At the Kunstkapel, Prinses Irenestraat 19

The inevitable moment has come at last when the Warp can finally fall back into its true inspiration which is the weaving loom. The warp and weft represent the vertical and horizontal lines respectively in the process of weaving and this is the metaphor that the warp was actually founded on in spite of the other very convenient references to the warped space time continuum, the time warp or the warp speed and warp drive from Star Trek. Thanks to loom collector and artist Samira Vogel an actual loom will be set up for the first time in the center of the Warp space and it will serve as the driving force behind an evening of very warpy experiments.

 

▷ Samira Vogel performs 𝙐𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙥

Samira Vogel is a weaver, artist and educator from Switzerland, based in Amsterdam, She uses weaving not only as a material and carrier of stories but also as a method and a tool to think through different processes of making and being. Samira explores the nature of collectivity by creating interactive weaving installations. “the loom expanding, its warp unraveled into space, threads held in tension,,creating a surface of display, carrying images of the before, .remembering the journey, of fibre – thread – warp…the sounds of wood on wood, the loom as an instrument,. can you hear the fibres intertwining?the threads telling stories? the weaving coming-into-being?”

▷▷ Samm Lewis performs 𝙏𝙝𝙚 3 𝙁𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨, 𝙀𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚 2: 𝘼 𝙆𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚

Samm Lewis will perform on a Knitting machine utilizing punch cards. She will knit melodic patterns on the day on which her mother was born. Each pattern comes from a memory formed with her mother and the rythmic sounds of the knitting machine recall the conversations they had at these times.

▷▷▷ Perpetual Bike Crash performs 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙍𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨

Perpetual Bike Crash is the combined forces of Francisco Garrido (Guitar and Composition), Micheal Murray(Alto Sax) and Joshua Lutz(Piano and Keyboards) who together have absorbed influences from jazz, minimalism, ambient, electronic and film music. although here they have designed themselves a crash course in looming music and how to work with a weaver. The group is interested in weaving with the here and now and connecting with the fall backs we no encounter in an effort to return to normal: The randomness of the apparition of Covid had everyone rethink the way the were living and ultimately Rethink the meaning of social situations and patterns that we were used to.

▷▷▷▷ Todo Modo Too (duo): Alan Purves and Dirk Bruinsma perform 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙮!

The Ensemble Todo Modo is a group which devotes itself exclusively to the playing of myriad types of objects. For this effort two of the group members absorb a loom and a knitting machine as part of their collectivity and unite in expanding the resonance and rythm within the space.

Tickets: €10 at the door, €5 for students.
